Lighting for the table rather than the ceiling — cordless table lamps, flameless LED candle lamps, plasma balls and plasma lamps, and lava lamps that give a room something to look at. A restaurant table lamp now runs a full service on a charge, which is why so many dining rooms dropped the tealight.
Light on the table without running power to it — it charges on a base behind the bar and gives a full evening of service, which is why venues buy them by the tray.
Yes, and that is the job — they give guests something to look at and the bar something to photograph; a silk-flame lamp is an LED effect, so there is no flame, fuel or smoke to manage.
One per table, plus spares on charge to swap through the evening, with a plasma dome or lava lamp on the bar as the feature piece — tell us your cover count and we will size the order and charging bases with it.
An industrial floor lamp for a corner that needs height, and an industrial lamp in cage or spun-metal styles for shelves and back bars. Both take the same warm LED as the table pieces, so the room stays one colour temperature.
A bar table lamp is chosen for battery life and for a base that survives being knocked; a hotel table lamp is chosen for the switch — guests should find it in the dark. A mood lamp or a flame effect lamp does the decorative work where an open flame is not allowed.
